Am
New Jersey Turnpike, ridin' on a wet night
  D                                       Am
`neath the refin'ry's glow out where the great black rivers flow

License, registration: I ain't got none
       D                                Am
But I got a clear conscience `bout the things that I done

Mister state trooper, please don't stop me
  D                    Am
Please don't stop me, please don't stop me


Maybe you got a kid, maybe you got a pretty wife
   D                                             Am
The only thing that I got's been both'rin' me my whole life

Mister state trooper, please don't stop me
  D                     Am
Please don't stop me, please don't stop me


In the wee, wee hours your mind get hazy
D                   Am
Radio relay towers lead me to my baby

The radio's jammed up with talk show stations
           D                                   Am
It's just talk, talk, talk, talk, till you lose your patience

Mister state trooper, please don't stop me

Am
Oooooh Oooooh

Hey, somebody out there, listen to my last prayer

Hiho silver-o, deliver me from nowhere

Oooooh
